JunkDepot sells your junk in style

by Emily Price Mar 18th 2007

Spring is just around the corner that means it's time to start cleaning out the garage, and getting rid of all the excess junk we've all accumulated over the past year. JunkDepot is a new Google maps mashup that makes buying and selling your stuff a little more interesting.

The free service allows sellers to upload up to five photos of their items and posts them not only on JunkDepot but also partner sites like Google base and edgeio. Items stay on the site for 30 days and can be searched for by potential buyers by category or buyers can type in their address and instantly look at photos of items located near them using Google maps allowing buyers to go on a virtual shopping trip through their neighborhood.

Naming your own price and listing for free beats paying high eBay fees for items you may or may not be able to sell.

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
